The Covert Hides Effectively but Only for Awhile

A covert narcissist can hide very effectively a wicked heart while appearing wonderful to those who don't know the signs or those who have never confronted them about sin.

Do not be fooled, appearances are very deceiving! Actors and actresses lie for a living. They can make us believe they are people of stellar character in a play or movie while living like rebels and heathens in real life.

Politicians are this way too. Far too often people rely on appearances and words to discern the truth about people They miss the clues because they are choosing to follow their desired feelings about someone rather than seeing the clues.

It is the targets or those closely associated with these covert types who can tell you the truth about them.

Sometimes we are shocked that someone was arrested for crimes because all we saw in them was the false persona of virtue they allowed us to see.

Luke 6:45
"The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks."

Know this, that eventually the authentic heart of a covert will emerge when they become too weary to keep up the pretense any longer.

Those who are coverts can become born again and cleansed from their sin of pride. This is our prayer and our hope. Just as God forgave and cleanses us, they too can experience the same thing, it is their choice.

Ezekiel 36:26
"And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh."
